I agree more or less with this. Project 1999 is catering to the bulk players seeking that nostalgia aspect and I don't see a server popping up doing a better job of it than they do at that target audience. That leaves a limited amount of players left for the rest of the EQemu community. The servers trying to emulate project 1999 better by a solo developer are never going to hack it and will burn out and fade away as quickly. The truly custom servers are the ones that have a bit of potential for limited appeal, but still need quality development.
A server worth mentioning that's not officially affiliated with EQemu, but has past history with the site and is loosely based upon it is Shards of Dalaya though which I guess has been trying to make in roads to getting back on the same with EQemu. They've done a better job than most when it comes to the custom aspect differentiating itself from Sony's base game.
I do think EQemu is at a crossroads right now though in terms of development. How many players still care about EQ how many all ready have their needs and desires met and filled plus how many does that leave left to go around? What detracts new or older players from EQ at this point the most? The client issue is certainly one that could pose issues, but is there more to it than that.
